The Opportunity

We're partnering with a leading global engineering consultancy at the forefront of the energy transition to find an experienced Associate Director in Protection & Control.

  • 15+ years in P&C FEED and detailed design at high voltage (132kV–400kV)
  • Strong familiarity with National Grid and SSE design processes and standards
  • Experience across DNOs, BESS, windfarms, and HVDC
  • Proven team leadership and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Commercial awareness and a genuine interest in business growth

The Package & Culture

Our client offers a genuinely competitive package — including private medical cover, enhanced parental leave, professional development support, and a strong commitment to flexible and hybrid working. Location is flexible across multiple UK offices, and part-time arrangements can be considered.

This is a business that takes inclusion, wellbeing, and career development seriously — not just on paper.
